Icime (43) from Co. Dublin

If asked, I'd say I'm happy. I am, but I refuse to be happy alone! I want to love and be loved :)

I'm imaginative, nature-loving, empathetic and smiling a lot. I tend to be as independent as a cat and I'm nearly always as optimistic and curious about the world as a child.

I like reading, lying on the grass, going to the movies or watching a film at home, meeting friends, travelling (distance doesn't matter) and taking photographs, dancing, learning or discovering something while reading, listening, watching, trying...

I've learned it's impossible to define the man I might find attractive - life surprised me quite a few times... I may say I'd like him to be independent, open-minded, curious, educated, a bit old-fashioned in manners, but does it really say you are the one or that you're not? How about that indefinable 'something' our instincts are looking for? I hope we'll know when we meet :)

By the way, I don't longer believe you can judge whether 'you fit with someone' by exchanging a lot of emails. Only the real life meeting can give us a chance.
